23. Culture of Ancient Russia. The culture of the pagan period. Life of Russia
The history of the Old Russian state began long before the adoption of Christianity. The Christian culture of Russia was based on the pagan layer of culture.
The earliest information about Old Russian culture is contained in the "Tale of Bygone Years" - the first significant all-Russian chronicle. It is recorded there that Prince Vladimir the Holy wanted to create an all-Russian pagan Pantheon of gods. The main God of the Russians is Perun the Thunderer. "Cattle God" Veles also occupied an important position (cattle in those days was identified with money). The weather was controlled by Stribog (wind god) and Dazhd-bog (sun god).
The epic gradually took shape. His plots were preserved mainly in epics recorded many centuries later ("Mikhailo Potok", "Danube", "Volga and Mikula", about the heroes Dobrynya Nikitich and Ilya Muromets).
The most important feature of culture is undoubtedly the art of building, that is, architecture. Russia for many years was a country of wood, and its architecture, pagan chapels, fortresses, towers, huts were built of wood.
Pagan Russia knew painting, sculpture, music, but in an exclusively pagan, folk expression. Ancient wood carvers, stone cutters created wooden and stone sculptures of pagan gods and spirits. Painters painted the walls of pagan temples, made sketches of magical masks, which were then made by artisans; musicians, playing stringed and woodwind instruments, entertained the tribal leaders and entertained the common people.
The culture of the people is inextricably linked with their way of life, everyday life, just as the way of life of the people, determined by the level of development of the country's economy, is closely connected with cultural processes.
All the testimonies of contemporaries indicate that Kyiv was a large and rich city. In Kyiv, golden-domed churches shone with their domes, the palaces of Vladimir, Yaroslav the Wise, Vsevolod Yaroslavich struck with grace; Sophia Cathedral, the Golden Gate - a symbol of the victories of Russian weapons, surprised with monumentality, wonderful frescoes.
Life of its own went on in the palaces and rich boyar mansions. The vigilantes were stationed here, and countless servants were crowded. Women sat at the table on equal terms with men. The guslars delighted the ears of the distinguished guests and sang to them; large bowls and horns of wine went around in a circle.
The favorite pastimes of rich people were falconry and hawk hunting. Races, tournaments, various games were arranged for the common people. Baths were an integral part of ancient Russian life.
Hundreds of large and small ships crowded at the piers of the Dnieper.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven
09.05.2024
Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship
08.05.2024
Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>
| Random news from the Archive MAX9701 - Class D Audio Power Amplifier
18.04.2005
